Title: A Comparison of 4G LTE and 5G Network Cybersecurity Performance
Abstract: Background: The shift from 4G LTE to 5G
networks represents a substantial advancement in wireless
communication technology, providing improved data transfer
rates, decreased response time, and heightened connectedness.
Nevertheless, there are significant worries surrounding the
cybersecurity of these sophisticated networks.
Objective: The objective of this research is to evaluate and
contrast the cybersecurity efficacy of 4G LTE and 5G networks,
with specific emphasis on data encryption, susceptibility to cyber
attacks, network security protocols, and security operation
delays.
Methodology: This study employs a blend of actual case
studies, simulated scenarios, and an extensive literature analysis
to evaluate and contrast the cybersecurity advantages and
disadvantages of 4G LTE and 5G networks.
Results: The article indicates that 5G networks surpass 4G
LTE in aspects such as solid encryption techniques and
sophisticated network slicing for enhanced security. However, it
also reveals possible cybersecurity obstacles specific to 5G, such
as expanded attack surfaces resulting from IoT integration,
intricacies in attaining end-to-end encryption, and concerns
associated with network function virtualization.
Conclusion: 5G networks have enhanced cybersecurity
capabilities compared to 4G LTE networks. However, they also
present new difficulties that need more study and specific
solutions. The report proposes implementing a multi-faceted
security strategy that includes technological, organizational, and
policy measures to achieve complete cybersecurity in 5G
networks. This article is a helpful resource for stakeholders
aiming to enhance the security of communication infrastructures.
